    Re: The Unofficial Video Game & System Thread Part II

    I saw this thread from 2k games about Front Office Manager. The thread is entitled
    " I have the game, and can answer any questions you may have"
    . I will provide a link below to the thread:

    http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204105

    A couple of things of interest after reading the thread:

    1. The trading system is flawed.

    2. It costs a lot of money to scout players in Japan. 30 million+ just to put scouts there,and more to actually sign Japanese players. They are MLB-level players, though, and don't need to develop in the minor leagues.

    3. You have 3 roster updates: one on Jan. 20, 1 in February, and one in April.

    4. The June draft has 25 rounds.

    5. You gain points for your GM if your team is in the top 5 statistical categories, and you lose points if you are in the bottom 5.

    I plan to pick up MLB Front Office sometime this week/weekend. Would love to hear others' thoughts on it.

    Sorry to totally switch gears here, but has anyone else played the Resident Evil 5 demo? I think that this game is going to be absolutely amazing!
    Let's make some noise!

    Thanks! Any details on how the trading system is flawed?

    I've read that there's way too much trading, it involves too many big name players and it's too hard to do it yourself. Many of the trades aren't "fair" either.

    The free agent salary negotiations also are way more expensive than reality.

    There's supposedly a forthcoming patch that will improve these aspects. I'm going to hold off on purchasing the game until I hear how that affects things.
    All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

    Same here. Sounds like waiting for the patch may the best approach. That's what I typically do with nearly every sports game anyway.

    It should be relatively easy to guide the Reds to 100 losses.

    What did you do? Put the game in and press "go?"

    Re: MLB FRONT OFFICE MANAGER-the game

    I've always been a big fan of the Baseball Bogul series which sounds like it is about the same type of game. You would probably be better off going with baseball mogul however because it is relatively cheap, 20-30 bucks and has been around for 6-8 years or so, meaning they have all the kinks worked out already.

    But I am also interested to hear about the likes of this game.

    I had OOTP about 6 years ago, obviously there has probably been a lot of changes but what does everyone think of it now? Good game? Realistic?
